Abstract

Tumor-related cancer pain often comprises mixed pain with both nociceptive and neuropathic components. Whether tumor-related cancer pain includes a neuropathic component impacts the therapeutic strategy. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the usefulness of two screening tools for neuropathic pain, painDETECT and Self-Report Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (S-LANSS), in identifying the neuropathic component of mixed pain among patients with tumor-related cancer pain.
